Abstract

It has been found that when a duplitized x-ray film has Cd placed next to it and is then surrounded by paraffin and exposed to a neutron source, the film shows blackening under the cadmium. Under these conditions the film also shows some general blackening which is rather weak. The neutrons used in these experiments were obtained by bombarding either Li or Be with about 10 microamperes of 1.2 Mev deuterons furnished by a cyclotron. There are, of course, also p-rays incident on the Cd and the photographic film, and it was necessary to establish the blackening under the cadmium as due to slow neutrons and not to these radiations.
